The Preacher, the General, and the Cyclops

A slight diversion and change of
plans… Oh the rest of the Foreign Legionnaires are still on the workbench, but
the next up items were needing base gooping, as were the follow-on items
(ZOMBIES!) and some machine-gun teams that were also “on deck” would need some
base-gooping. And I like to have the base-gooping done beforehand – at least
for individually based figures (because I can) – so that when I’m done painting
all I have to do is dry brush on the lighter browns and presto, I’m done!
Rather than having to goop them after paiting and then wait over night for it
to dry and then dry brush and flock, etc…

So instead of the as-planned
Legionnaires, I painted up the MG gunners last night and glued them down to
their bases and did some base-gooping… so those machinegunners are just waiting
for the base goop to dry and they’ll likely get posted tomorrow… THEN I’ll get
to those Legionnaires… THEN the cops… THEN the Zombies… It’s almost like I have
a plan…

And these...?! Well, I just happen to be working them up at the same time as the Machine-gunners and they happen to be gooped previously, so I was able to finish them right off.

The Preacher-man and the General here are from Great War Miniatures.
The General, I think was stuck in some green stuff on the washer-base and dried
with a little lean forwards…? It kind of makes him look like he’s rocking
forward on the balls of his feet to have a good listen.
